"The price of petrol went up - so we were put under orders to cut down on using the car." "Quite right!" "Then the power prices went up - so we had to keep a few things turned off." "Makes sense!"

Description

Shows in four scenarios two women chatting over a cup of tea while the husband of one of them sits in the background reading the paper. Each time his wife mentions an item whose price has risen he interjects and agrees until the rising price of beer is mentioned and then as his wife says they have had to cut down on dairy foods, he remains strangely silent. Refers to the rising cost of living in 2008.
